Notes and Editorial Reviews

Volume two, and Goerne gives us performances of profound grandeur, mystery and compassion

The second volume of Matthias Goerne’s pianist-swapping Schubert Lieder edition for Harmonia Mundi by some way betters the first (and that was good). Remaining is the mellifluous, deep-centred voice – always easy to get addicted to – but here he also finds an attractive husky quality. Emotionally too, he is more varied, revealing patches of light as well as shade.
